"For me, the answer now lies in refusal, the withdrawal of participation from systems that require dishonesty as the price of belonging."

Today I am resigning from the National Science Board and the Library of Congress Scholars Council.

I wrote about my decision in TIME.

An important forum is happening! Visited three schools where research is in action. Day 1 @agamoran.bsky.social Cynthia Weaver, AEC Foundation & Beatriz Polhamus López​,
Fundación Banco Popular shared guiding principles for promoting research to benefit children, youth, and families in Puerto Rico.

Congratulations to the winners of the 2025 Palmer O. Johnson Award, Denisa Gándara, Hadis Anahideh, Matthew P. Ison, Lorenzo Picchiarini)! Read the full announcement: www.aera.net/Newsroom/AER...

None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

@wtgrantfdn.bsky.social remains committed to supporting research to improve the lives of young people. We all benefit when everyone thrives. Research about reducing inequality & improving the use of what we learn from research and other types of evidence & expertise moves us closer to this vision.

Alignments and misalignmemts between policy design/implememtation and research findings on medication to counter opiod use matter. Preventatable deaths are happening at high rates. #erikacrable We need to move beyond communication and dissemination toward sustained engagement.

#discience24 exciting call to share data, learn across disciplines, and work locally while changing broader structures

Studies on the use of research evidence in policy and practice encourage approaches where the 1) line between knowledge producer and knowledge user is blurred, 2) assumptions underlying the research are critiqued, and 3) investments in both relational AND technical infrastructures are prioritized.

"Researchers are socialized to share only the knowledge they produce" #aaronecarroll #discience24 But how do we engage with, critique, and use knowledge accumlated over time and from different sources to make a difference? @wtgrantfdn.bsky.social
